Great !!
You have installed Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008 R2 SP1 on Windows server 2008 R2 Successfully !
If you can elaborate the service account concept then that would have been great. Since its very critical and we have to ensure that we are not changing the password. So if you want to install then the account must be dedicated and kept as a secret account. Used only for SQL and the associated technologies linked with it.
Sure Sunder. I Would udpate things for sure. !!
